louderthangod Not a "take" on the Freeze at all. Gamechanger was far into development before they even knew the Freeze existed and chose to block it out and built PLUS with no comparison.
It's nice to see a pan and delay in one box. I could use this effects. Sadly the hype and physical design of the product is discouraging - a novelty at best. I've learnt a trick to achieve this effect long ago. You could use a stereo volume pan pedal and have one of the outputs going through a delay effect with a long decay. You strike a chord, pan to the delayed path and pan back to solo over it. Some digital multi-effects pedals can do this as well. Check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond - live acoustic by David Gilmour.
I think it is pretty cool, and does fill a niche. To me it is a bit like my Boomerang, which I have owned since 1999, and love. But this does have some different features, like the ability to swell. Guess you can do that with the Boomerang, but will take some effort. It looks well made, and the price point is reasonable for something that seems to be very well made. You can't compare this to an EH pedal. Everyone expects to get super quality pedals for $80. Innovation will be killed by this type of thinking, and by the way, I am LIC Pedals.
The wet mode reminds me of when i set my reverb pedal to 100% wet mode and the notes just swell into place. The advantage of this pedal is that you can sustain those notes as long as you have your foot down, I think.
If this were a well known USA boutique pedal modder selling this as a customised Superego, at even twice the Latvian price; the guitar forums would be all over this moisting their groins with unfulfilled GAS...
It's an emulation, not of the "Sustain" pedal on a Grand Piano, but of the "Sostenuto" pedal, that only sustains the note or chord that is being played at the instant the spring loaded pedal is depressed, and as long as it is pressed. It does not Sustain any other notes that are played after it is depressed (like a damper pedal on a piano, that allows any note after the damper is pressed and held down to sustain and decay naturally.)
seems quite a bit different to me considering the superego is a synth engine. this seems to have the ability to be very uncolored - meaning what you put into it you get out... not just synth pads and modulation.
Basically has the same features, maybe this one sounds less sterile? Seems like it takes a longer sample too. Not sure which has better playability, but I own the Superego and it's fantastic (still intrigued by this though)
@tubenshaft until you're capable of understanding/ HEARING the difference between synth engine generated tones and the source audio itself, please dont bitch about audio engineers that came up with something cool you (obviously) couldnt. thank you.
TinnitusTheNight Really? I want to try this now. I honestly want to try nodding a bass to use one of those sustainer pickups that pumps the signal from a pickup back into the strings thru another pickup and sustains your notes
A piano sustain pedal is not just on/off, but has the whole range between. I was hoping this would be the same. But the demo is just on/off. Seems like a gimmick to me, a button does the same thing.
I've waited since the last namm for some example of how this is innovative. I still only see this as a minor improvement on pre-existing tech with the addition of a gimmicky piano sustain pedal. Kudos for starting a company and getting your name out there, but I don't need this. I can do all this and more with my current setup.
And the Superego can definitely do the multiple layers. Still waiting for someone to do something actually new sounding with this pedal. I understand this was on the fly, but dang. Just not impressed despite all the hype.
XD @ you cynics/ self-styled experts that cant hear the difference between cheap synth engines and equipment using actual source audio to generate feedback (complete with organic overtones). oh dunning kruger effect you know no bounds!
Humes McKenzie so, I assume by this comment that you own this pedal? Or maybe you've heard it in person? Look, if someone would just post a demo that sounds good and demonstrates what you speak of, I'd probably buy one. I just keep clicking on these videos whenever they pop up, yet it's always the same stuff. You're free to think whatever you want.
I like the separate rise and tail controls, and the piano pedal switch is cool, but other than that this is the EHX Superego without the gliss control or the auto mode. Is he ignorant of that product or lying? Either way, not a good look.
This is one of those "must have" effects that you take home, use twice and then store away for "another day" (which never comes...) There are way too many pedals out there that try, and fail, to make the guitar sound like a synth.
I was getting hope with this pedal cuz I thought you could just do an arpeggio and get a chord backdround instantly (as a real piano pedal does), but for you to have to create 3+ layers manually for that to work, is just not worth it... This is just a EHX freeze or a EHX Cathedral v2, no innovation...
The SuperEgo and this are both what's called granular syntheseizers(others call it sample and hold). They take a little piece of audio and loop that constantly. This pedal takes a bit of a longer sample then the SuperEgo. But I like the functions of the SuperEgo a lot more. In this video they say other pedals can't do the layering, but you can on the SuperEgo. The only thing I love about this pedal is the piano style switch, so when I saw this at winter Namm I made a switch input on my SuperEgo in which I can plug a piano sustain pedal.
I watched the video all the way through and even commented plus I was kinda into then he said $289 and well I'm out, I'll pass, something like that is realistically only gonna be used in maybe one song so that's way too much money!
If people had just stopped trying to make a guitar sound not like a guitar years ago, we would not have had to have U2. This will lead to more elevator music...LOL!
I despise fuzz boxes. I loathe distortion pedals. A music catalogue for professional musicians, trained guitarists shouldn't have 4 pages of densely packed devises that makes my bright clear carefully managed well known and feared Precious's signal sound like an overly used shamefully displayed 15 watt transistor amp. However if I get a taste for such things I'd get one of these cool daddies sure
total waste of money. the hold function on an l boss digital delay is not that different. Maybe for more soundtrack stuff but a synth is what that is for. Stop trying to make the guitar sound like anything but a guitar.
Obviously inspired by a piano, but this just looks so awkward for a guitarist. Plenty of other pedals have a freeze latch anyway. And rarely do most players actually use them. Pad sounding reverbs make for a better sound scape. Pretty ugly and underwhelming to boot.
One of the most interesting pedals to come out in a long time
Simto since EHX SuperEgo, maybe?
I know, but I like the design
@@LeviBulger
Why’s that then?
@@LeviBulger
Why’s that then?
i want it. Even if there are other stomp boxes doing similar things already. I love the look of it and the piano style pedal.
Thanks for the shout out!
favorite pedal to come out in a very long time. stoked to get one.
I’m glad to see a lot of people like this
Nice, I wanted to do similar with multiple Freeze pedals. I love the pedal setup as well. This fits in many of my projects.
I just got one! Using it with my Ibanez SRC6 hybrid bass. You can do some great stuff with this thing
Nice as well! These guys are doing rad stuff.
So far this is the coolest device from Summer NAMM.
Shoman Blues did you enjoy the show?
Like it. So much tech and so many cool toys out there.
OHHH the applications this can have with my ehx b9
the boss harmonist thing was totally into some Godspeed You! Black Emperor stuff, amazing
I want one so bad!!
These guys are going to help change the sound of music! In a good way!
great ergonomic look
This would be sick with an EHX B9 in the loop or even just a rotary sim
YES! Match it with a DLS Rotary sim and you're in organ heaven.
It's pretty intuitive, I like it a lot
This is pretty cool
whats the difference betwen this and the freezer?
So many vendors at this show are using Supro amps if you look closely in a lot of these Premier Guitar videos from Summer NAMM. INTERESTING.
tubenshaft I was assuming they probably do, which is a smart marketing move.
It's because they are amazing. I regret selling my tremoverb. Nothing has sounded so sweet since
Very cool!
Very good!!!
Nice take on the EH Freeze, a little bit big for my board but very cool. The wet mode is really awesome.
louderthangod Not a "take" on the Freeze at all. Gamechanger was far into development before they even knew the Freeze existed and chose to block it out and built PLUS with no comparison.
johnbazy its beyond freeze.
This takes the place of like 3 pedals
It's nice to see a pan and delay in one box. I could use this effects. Sadly the hype and physical design of the product is discouraging - a novelty at best. I've learnt a trick to achieve this effect long ago. You could use a stereo volume pan pedal and have one of the outputs going through a delay effect with a long decay.

Innovative pedal,would love to hear in a live band context.
love it. want it.
I had the idea for a pedal like this in the mid 1990's when I was studying piano tuning.
Like this one.
When did premier guitar hire Macklemore?
Don't know what it does but it looks cool AF so I want it.
so crazy...I want one
TK Smith booth in the back. I hope you did an interview with him!
That is very cool.
Interesting! Especially the pedal is took from piano!
very nice would buy
2017? Man ware have I been....sweet pedal!!
That is cool! Something with people creation.
This feels so odd ... like, weren't they at Winter NAMM? I remember seeing a video.
tubenshaft thanks, couldn't find the old vid and was wondering if I'd lost it ! 😳
cool pedal bro
This might go some where.
I think it is pretty cool, and does fill a niche. To me it is a bit like my Boomerang, which I have owned since 1999, and love. But this does have some different features, like the ability to swell. Guess you can do that with the Boomerang, but will take some effort. It looks well made, and the price point is reasonable for something that seems to be very well made.

awesome
Slick!!!
I’ll bet it’s great for slide guitar
what the heck with Supros everywhere now?
Never mind the pedal, I want those shoes!
The wet mode reminds me of when i set my reverb pedal to 100% wet mode and the notes just swell into place. The advantage of this pedal is that you can sustain those notes as long as you have your foot down, I think.
Damnit I had the idea for this pedal a couple years ago but I was too stupid to pursue it!
Sounds like a few of the presets on a boss gp-10
It sounds way better than a freeze pedal. The freeze pedal sounds way too digital and fake.
Robert Almeida you’re right, it’s clippy but this one is way smoother
If this were a well known USA boutique pedal modder selling this as a customised Superego, at even twice the Latvian price;
the guitar forums would be all over this moisting their groins with unfulfilled GAS...
Accurate. If it was Wampler everyone would worship this pedal
Pedal is cool. Video edit with the distorted/screen shake is irritating and taking away from the view of the pedal.
It's an emulation, not of the "Sustain" pedal on a Grand Piano, but of the "Sostenuto" pedal, that only sustains the note or chord that is being played at the instant the spring loaded pedal is depressed, and as long as it is pressed.
It does not Sustain any other notes that are played after it is depressed (like a damper pedal on a piano, that allows any note after the damper is pressed and held down to sustain and decay naturally.)
Jeff Ali Thanks, It's a really interesting pedal, I've been thinking about a pedal like this for over 20 years, I'm glad someone developed the idea.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
This vs the EHX superego
seems quite a bit different to me considering the superego is a synth engine. this seems to have the ability to be very uncolored - meaning what you put into it you get out... not just synth pads and modulation.
And now there's a Superego +
Wait what, there is?? I can't find anything about it
Basically has the same features, maybe this one sounds less sterile? Seems like it takes a longer sample too. Not sure which has better playability, but I own the Superego and it's fantastic (still intrigued by this though)
@tubenshaft until you're capable of understanding/ HEARING the difference between synth engine generated tones and the source audio itself, please dont bitch about audio engineers that came up with something cool you
(obviously) couldnt. thank you.
looks like hendix sounds are still popular
nowhere to see how it works with high gain.
3:32 tray from gear gods
I thought that was Luke Doucet for a moment!!
I dunno, maybe you can make it bigger so it can take up more of my pedal board. Oh and add another pedal to control it. Ok for noise making though.
I like it. Not cheap but I like it
Nice shoes, very important for a good pedal demo
Had a super ego, sold it to a bass player, it can make bass sound like a cello.
TinnitusTheNight Really? I want to try this now. I honestly want to try nodding a bass to use one of those sustainer pickups that pumps the signal from a pickup back into the strings thru another pickup and sustains your notes

It's about time somebody invented this. Gamechanger Audio lives up to their name.
Is a long feedback delay with a pretty switch ¬¬
Niko Oviedo not really
Who know u man! Its the true!
this is like a freeze pedal except way better lol .
Gear gods guy at 3:33 lol
Someone teach this guy about branding.

interviewer doesn't seem impressed
The EHX Superego has been doing this stuff, with a glissando feature and also including the effects loop for years now.
Why are so many people using those Supro amps? They always sound like garbage!
Almost 'the end the doors.
$289.00 is not what I see!?
That's one for Dave Gilmore!
That guy didn´t get that Plus was the name of the pedal haha
I like the separate rise and tail controls, and the piano pedal switch is cool, but other than that this is the EHX Superego without the gliss control or the auto mode. Is he ignorant of that product or lying? Either way, not a good look.

Was gunna buy one then they said $300
So it's a repackaged delay/reverb pedal,
this been around for years
I was getting hope with this pedal cuz I thought you could just do an arpeggio and get a chord backdround instantly (as a real piano pedal does), but for you to have to create 3+ layers manually for that to work, is just not worth it... This is just a EHX freeze or a EHX Cathedral v2, no innovation...
Electro harmonix freeze anyone
Oh so its like a MIDI pedal with automations but better. I like it tbh
Thats bad**s
I didn't know Rik Mayall and Paul Dano had a son.
weird a lot....
Wash your hair dude!
Nice man! A EHX SuperEgo with a piano pedal! Not very original..
The SuperEgo and this are both what's called granular syntheseizers(others call it sample and hold). They take a little piece of audio and loop that constantly. This pedal takes a bit of a longer sample then the SuperEgo.
But I like the functions of the SuperEgo a lot more. In this video they say other pedals can't do the layering, but you can on the SuperEgo.
The only thing I love about this pedal is the piano style switch, so when I saw this at winter Namm I made a switch input on my SuperEgo in which I can plug a piano sustain pedal.
Sorry man ,, this is a toy!! EHX has done this already . Please try again!!
I watched the video all the way through and even commented plus I was kinda into then he said $289 and well I'm out, I'll pass, something like that is realistically only gonna be used in maybe one song so that's way too much money!
If people had just stopped trying to make a guitar sound not like a guitar years ago, we would not have had to have U2. This will lead to more elevator music...LOL!
Hating on U2 on the internet is the elevator music of trolling. So unoriginal and forced.
U2 is a massively popular and successful band that's beloved by millions all over the world
sorry, not exactly a novelty. EHX's Freeze and SuperEgo, ZCat pedals... you are late in the game.
Yes, but their idea is being presented as a novelty, which it isn't.
I despise fuzz boxes. I loathe distortion pedals. A music catalogue for professional musicians, trained guitarists shouldn't have 4 pages of densely packed devises that makes my bright clear carefully managed well known and feared Precious's signal sound like an overly used shamefully displayed 15 watt transistor amp. However if I get a taste for such things I'd get one of these cool daddies sure
